I guess my language would be 2000A then, right? If I commit do doing it
as a project, I guess I'd have to carry it through. I guess I'll namy my
language "language", or what the translation is.

I never thought of it as having any negative connotation. I guess to
some people it does, and I don't want to say anything negative, so I'll
think when I say things like that.

Excellent. This is one of the best welcomes I've gotten on the internet,
possibly exceded by the Fender Discussion Page (www.fenderforum.com).
I'm known as yorg there, if there are any Fender guitar & bass player on
here.

That's an interesting quote, and a strange language. I see there's a
culture behind it, that's always fun. What did you do first, the
language or the culture. I think it would be interesting to do the
language first, because then the language would influence the culture,
rather than the other way around as it happens in the real world.
